Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club: A Discovery Land Company Community in Los Cabos

Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club is a private, members-only residential community on the Los Cabos tourist corridor, set along the protected cove of Chileno Bay. The community spans 1,260 acres of coastline, hillside, and desert terrain. Discovery Land Company — the Scottsdale-based developer behind 38 private communities around the world including: El Dorado, Yellowstone Club, Gozzer Ranch, Summit Club, and Tenuta Toscana — operates the property, and the master plan includes two Tom Fazio-designed eighteen-hole golf courses, a beach club on one of Cabo’s only swimmable beaches (with a second beach club under construction, and a residential program that ranges from estate homesites to the Auberge-managed Chileno Bay Resort and Residences.

For prospective members and buyers, two distinct paths exist into the community. The first runs through Chileno Bay Resort and Residences by Auberge, a 23-acre resort property within the larger master plan. The second runs through real estate elsewhere within the master plan — homesites for custom builds, resales, and developer-built homes. Each path leads to a different ownership experience and a different point of contact at Pose Knows Cabo, which is why this page treats both paths with equal weight.

About Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club

The community sits roughly halfway between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, about thirty minutes from Los Cabos International Airport. Geographically, the master plan stretches from beachfront at Chileno Bay up through hillside neighborhoods toward the Sierra de la Laguna foothills, which gives different residential pockets meaningfully different orientations — beachfront, ocean-view hillside, golf-course frontage, or interior estate parcels, all with an ocean view.

Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club functions as a private club community. Membership is required for access to the club’s amenities, and the community does not publicly list available residences in the master plan — those inventory updates move through the on-site team rather than through the MLS. As a result, buyers researching Chileno Bay real estate often see only a partial picture of what’s actually available.

About Discovery Land Company

Discovery Land Company develops and operates a portfolio of private residential club communities across the United States, Mexico, the Bahamas, the United Kingdom, Costa Rica, and around the world. The company is privately held, headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has built its reputation around a few defining characteristics:

Member-driven club programming. Each Discovery community operates a signature Outdoor Pursuits program — a curated calendar of activities tied to the geography of the property. At Chileno Bay, that includes water-based pursuits unique to the Sea of Cortez.
Operational consistency across properties. Members in one Discovery community generally find familiar service standards, club programming, and member services structures across the broader portfolio.
Strong privacy norms. Discovery communities are not marketed publicly the way most resort developments are. Inventory, programming, and member experience details are shared through direct conversation with on-site representatives rather than through general advertising.

For buyers familiar with the Discovery model from Zapotal, The Madison Club, or another property in the portfolio, Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club operates within that same framework. For buyers new to the Discovery model, the practical takeaway is that the buying process tends to involve more direct conversation and on-site time than a conventional real estate transaction.

Path 1: Membership Through Chileno Bay Resort and Residences by Auberge

Chileno Bay Resort and Residences by Auberge (CBRR) — also referred to as Auberge Chileno Bay — is a five-star resort property within the larger Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club master plan. The property occupies 23 acres of beachfront, and the broader resort offering includes guest rooms, suites, beachfront villas, three restaurants, Sol, The Spa at Chileno Bay, a multi-tier pool, kids’ and teens’ clubs, and direct beach access at Chileno Bay.

For buyers, the relevant inventory at Chileno Bay Resort and Residences includes whole-ownership condominium residences and beachfront villas. Owners may place their residence into the Auberge-managed rental program, which provides a hotel-operated path to rental revenue between personal stays.

An important note on club membership. Not every condominium or villa within Chileno Bay Resort and Residences carries an opportunity for membership at Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club. A subset of residences within the property has a membership opportunity attached, and a subset does not. For buyers whose primary interest is membership in the Discovery Land Company community, this distinction is the single most important due-diligence question to resolve early in the process. Because membership availability shifts as residences trade hands and as new opportunities open, the current state is best confirmed in direct conversation rather than from any static published source.

Path 2: Membership Through Real Estate Within the Master Plan

The second path runs through the master plan itself. Within the broader 1,260-acre Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club community, several residential categories exist:

Estate homesites — large parcels for fully custom homes, typically with significant view orientations toward the ocean, the coastline, and the surrounding desert and mountains.
Move-in-ready resale homes — completed residences that come to market as owners transition. Resale inventory at Chileno Bay tends to move quickly and often does not appear publicly.
Developer-built homes — residences built by the developer to a defined architectural language, available either as completed homes or as a build-to-order option. The developer-built program offers buyers a path to a finished, design-coordinated home without the timeline of a fully custom build.

Each category carries a different ownership experience, a different timeline to occupancy, and a different price band. Moreover, because the master plan continues to evolve and because off-market inventory frequently outweighs publicly listed inventory, the most accurate and current view of what’s available comes from the on-site team.

For inquiries into real estate within the master plan — including estate homesites, move-in-ready resales, and the developer-built program — contact Dane Posey. Dane works on-site at Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club and maintains current visibility into both listed and off-market inventory across the master plan.

For more information on the amenity program, current programming, and the specifics of the membership experience, Dane is the appropriate point of contact. Specifically, much of the day-to-day member experience at a Discovery Land Company community is shared in direct conversation rather than through general marketing channels.

Location and Proximity

Chileno Bay Golf & Beach Club sits at Kilometer 15 of the Transpeninsular Highway, the road that runs the length of the Los Cabos tourist corridor. Drive times from the community:

Cabo San Lucas (downtown and marina): approximately fifteen minutes
San José del Cabo (downtown and Art District): approximately twenty-five minutes
Los Cabos International Airport: approximately thirty minutes
Palmilla and the corridor’s other resort properties: five to fifteen minutes depending on destination

This positioning gives owners equal access to Cabo San Lucas’s marina, dining, and nightlife, and to San José del Cabo’s quieter Art District and historic downtown. Furthermore, the community’s central corridor location means the airport remains a manageable thirty-minute drive — a meaningful convenience for owners flying in for long weekends.
